Do I Need To Measure Windows In My Denver Home?
When you need a window treatment, measuring the window is vital! Even though stores try to sell common sizes, no “standard” window exists. If you purchase a mass-produced product, it can never fit your window correctly. Instead, you should measure your window and buy a custom treatment.
Tailor-made window treatments consistently look and work better than a product that’s off the shelf. For example, a one-of-a-kind treatment won’t stick out past the frame of the window or be too small to block light and views inside. It will fit within your window precisely. You also get to decide how to operate your window treatment, whether adding motorization to a window shade or requesting a hidden tilt rod on plantation shutters. You have further choices for opacity, color, hardware and more.
When Should I Get My Windows Measured By The Experts?
It’s always a great idea to have your windows measured by the experts. For one, if the experts measure your windows, they’ll also put up the treatments. That’s one less project on your plate. As the experts who install window coverings all day, they have perfected the best methods for measuring windows. They’ll do it correctly and fast.
Getting windows measured for custom window treatments is vital. After all, they aren’t really custom unless they fit your window precisely. If your home has an arched window or other specialty shape, don’t try measuring yourself. Your installer will want to take careful measurements to determine the shape and angle before ordering your window treatments.
Can I Measure My Windows Myself?
Of course, you can measure your windows yourself. You’ll have to if you expect to do your window treatments alone. Estimating the approximate size of your windows can also help you get estimates from window treatment installers when you’re looking for one.
How Do I Measure My Windows?
The best method for measuring your Denver windows is undeniably to seek a specialist to do it. However, if you want a guess as to your window’s measurements, try these tips:
- Use an aluminum measuring tape.
- Always measure to the nearest 1/8-inch.
- Measure the depth of your window first for inside mount treatments.
- Depending on the style of window treatment you want, you’ll measure the width and height inside the window casement or from the outside edges of the window frame.
- Always note your measurements as width by height.
Won’t Hiring The Pros Cost A Lot Of Money?
Of course, ordering window coverings from an installer who will measure windows themselves has a price. But that expense makes up for itself over time. You’ll find yourself replacing flimsier DIY treatments sooner than not. They may deteriorate sooner if they don’t fit your windows properly. To get the most for your money, phone the pros.
